Battle Over The Dollar And Meat Prices In 1973

Labor wage guidelines hold at 5.5 percent, but future contracts may push them higher. Government policy shifts since Jan 10 indicate root causes beyond Phase 3 controls. A broad, cooperative effort between Congress and the President is urged to curb inflation and restore balance of payments.
